Gor - Evil alien power which possesses Steve and really digs this libido thing. Steve finally stomps a hole in his Thalamus.

The Plot:

Two brains from outer space land on our planet, one is good, one is bad. Both must possess bodies to accomplish their goals. Who will be taken next? Can Earth survive the massive confrontation of beings from planet Arous?

Actually yes, but only if you can get over transparent brain monsters with glowing eyes.

When Steve and Dan go investigate a strange radiation source on Mystery Mountain they discover Gor. The renegade intelligence has fled to Earth seeking a hiding place. Not welcome on Arous any more, he plans to enslave humanity and build spacecraft to return home and conquer the universe! Gor discovers something else on Earth he likes: Sally. He turns the former gentlemen Steve into a sex-crazed maniac. Unfortunately, the young lady does not like it rough; advances fail past aggressively sticking his tongue in her mouth. (Oh sure, big tough alien power can make planes explode at will, but second base eludes you.)

Sally and dad are a little confused with the change in her fiancee's behavior until Vol shows up. He is a agent from Arous and powerful enough to capture Gor. Only when the criminal takes leave of Steve's body to gather oxygen though. Otherwise Vol would have to kill the possessed man.

Now it is time for math; if the good brain had taken the latter route and Steve died our total body count would be two. (Steve+Dan.) As it happens, they decide to try and save the nuclear scientist. Gor destroys two planes then fries the sheriff and Col Frogley. Final body count? At least forty-two people. So much for benevolent alien powers knowing best. There are plenty of B-movie contrivances (they find a piece of melted metal in a plane wreck and decide no power known to man caused it) and special effects to gawk at.

This is just a small part of Brainathon 99, make sure you read these other great reviews:

There is really is an ultra sensitive radiation detector called a ...Scintillator. It uses an image intensifier tube to detect the flashes caused by beta and alpha particles on a zinc sulfide screen. It is so sensitive that was commonly flown on airplanes to detect the slight radioactivity of dinosaur bones from the air. The technology dates from before the 1940's.

My comment about scintillators was actually addressed to the jabutto review, where he says://As they pack, Steve asks Dan to try out the ‘sinilator’ (or something). This proves to be a device resembling an Art Deco hair dryer attached to a black box. I assume this is supposed to be a directional Geiger counter//

My father was in this movie, His professional name was Henry Travis and he played colonel frogley. Its great to see that this b movie relic is still floating around, hopefully entertaining some............

I love this movie!, for some reason it just seems to come off really well considering how ridiculous it all is.Did Sally's father appear in 'The Adams family' or 'The Munster's' ?.I've definitely seen him before.It's been rightly described as a fun movie, and i can only go along with that.Classic American 50's Sci-fi.Recommended.
